Frustration and

[jkkitty]

Well finally home from the pig pen that my ex-daughter in law left for my son and I to clean. Her sister and sister's kids have lived there for the last year while my grandkids spent much of the time with their dads.

She took only what she wanted and left the rest including all the kids things. The sister's kids wrote nasty comments about my grandkids making my granddaughter cry.

 It took 48 bags just to clean out the garbage from the upstairs and main floor.  The dressers (all broken) beds (all with juices and milks poured over them) and other things haven't been taken out yet.  The basement hasn't been touched yet and a freezer is filled with spoiled meat.  The back yard was filled with garbage thrown out the kitchen window and took another 20 bags to clean up.

We took pictures of everything but these women are out of our lives, and the kids but what they did to the house will take months fix (holes in most of the walls) to sale.

Guess this was just my way to leave out my frustration and anger.  Pat

Sounds like the same situation. She and her family (at something 10 or 12 kids and 2/3 adults) were there, 3 big dogs and 5 cats before she moved. But you're right we are moving on, just the kids that don't know what to make of a clean house (have to keep reminding them their are garbage cans, etc.) Thanks for the support

It will be quite the change for them. Don't be surprised if they move in the opposite direction and become very neat!

You are such a good person for doing this!

The two dads are working it out so the kids get to see each other, and of course both are still my grandkids.

Excellent - because the kids should never feel like they were the cause of anything of this and they often do.
